The word from:
Edmonds-Woodway High School
“In contemporary living class, they brought in volunteers from the community to interview us as if it was a real interview. We had to dress up and prepare for their questions. They took our resumes and everything. The drama program is getting ready for ‘The Good Person of Setzuan’.”
– Cotan Campion

County helps build new stadium at Bothell Jr. High
Bothell Junior High School recently opened a new $1.7 million all-weather football and soccer field with a running track thanks to the efforts of the Northshore School District, Northshore Youth Soccer Association and Snohomish County.
A grand opening was held Nov. 6.
The soccer group and county each contributed $250,000, and the school district covered the balance from its capital projects fund.
“Not only does our district get a first-class facility, the community will have access to one as well,” said Dan Vaught, Northshore’s executive director of support services.
Kids Create fees will go up $4 this spring
Fees for a spring creativity fair sponsored by the Monroe School District will increase by $4.
The Kids Create Creativity Conference lets students in kindergarten through seventh grade choose among a variety of art, drama, dance and science classes.
Monroe School Board members recently approved the new fees: $20 for in-district students and $25 for out-of-district students. The increase is expected to generate $1,200 to help offset the costs of a volunteer coordinator.
EHS seeks donations for Challenge Day program
The Everett School District is seeking donations to help pay for a popular program that seeks to break down barriers between students.
The Challenge Day program, a California-based nonprofit, intermixes students of different backgrounds and social circles in an effort to reduce bullying, harassment and divisions.
“Challenge Day has empowered students to figure out ways to take charge of improving school climate so that all students feel safe and respected,” said Kelly Clapp, an EHS assistant principal.
School staffers estimate it costs $50 for one student to attend the program. They hope to raise $75,000 for the 1,500 teenagers who have not yet attended.
Donations can be made payable to Everett High School with “Challenge Day” in the memo line and mailed to Everett High School, 2416 Colby Ave., Everett, WA 98201.
